Summary:Exposure to a traumatic event such as domestic violence has many negative consequences. The subject of this paper is the behaviour disorder of children as a consequence of domestic violence as a risk factor. The paper is based on a case study of the centre for social work. The case of domestic violence, identified consequences and actions undertaken by the center has been analysed. Along with a brief overview of the etiological explanation, the paper gives an overview of the connection between victimization of a child by domestic violence and the manifested behavioural disorder of a chuld.
